Our Town To Have An Ice Factory

The following letter has been an
swered, at our request, by one of our
prominent citizens, who always takes
an active interest in everything calcu-
lated to enhance the growth and pros
perity of Alexandria. The reply fur
nishes Mr.. Mire with full data, and ex-
tends all the encouragement possible.
1t is highly probable, therefore, that
at no distant day, Alexandria will
have an ice factory, and will supply
all other towns in central Louisiana
with that which was once regarded as
a luxury but is now one of the neces-
sites of life:
New ORLEANS, La, I

probable amount of ice needed by your

Nothing asked on the, machine until it

manner his clothes became entangled
in the saw, in motion at the time, and
one leg was pulled in and sawed off in
two OR three places-tirst taking offhis
foot, then the calf of his leg, and final.
ly his thigh, close up to his body
johnson lived only few hours, dying
before medical assistance arrived. De-

accidents often happen, and should be
the means Of making parties who are
in the habit Of working around ma
chinely use the greatest precaution.

The Temperance Meeting Wednesday
Night.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union held a meeting at the Metho-
dist church last Wednesday night
Prof. Pardce was tho orator selected
to discuss the temperance issues. Mr..
Pardee made very forcible argument
couched in pretty language, showing
that he had given the subject long and
deep thought.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Pardee's
remarks Mr.. Edwin G. Hunter was
called upon to express his views. Mr..
Hunter stated that he had attended
the meeting without any intention of
speaking, but would briefly give his
views upon local option if the audi
once wished to hear them. No sensi-
bic, he said, wanted argument to con-
vince him that the use of Intoxicating
drinks was hurtful that it was moral
ly, mentally and physically ruinous to
man that it was the curse of this CEN
tury; so far had tho evil effects heen
felt that tho intelligent and philan-
thropic people throughout civilization
were now engaged in dcvising ways
and means to curtail if not entirely
stop the distribution of whisky, He
did not think, however, that local OPP
ton would effect the desired result; he
thought that if the people of the Par
ishes would instruct their Legislators, u
constitutional amendment could be
submitted and adopted prohibiting the
sale or importation of whisky in the
State; he would support such an
amendment and join the ladies in their
every effort to have it adopted; he
would 60 farther than this, he would
sanction any law which would prohibit
it's manufacture in the United States.
1t would require some law reaching
further than local option; this could
nat be enforced, and was farce he
had supported the local option ordi-
nance on the stump and elsewhere
was wiling to give it trial; the trial
had satisfied him that other Legislation
was wanted, and he was willing to as
sist in obtaining it.
The Rev. Mr.. White then made a
short address, insisting that probibi-
ton had been enforced better than
any other law on the statute books.
